Idk how well this would work for this use, but you could look into using 3M VHB tape (vhb stands for very heavily bonding).
It works similar to those pull release command hooks - same type of tape, but there’s a foam layer to account for uneven surfaces. So when you are ready to unmount it, you pull the tape to stretch it out and it loses adhesion.
It’s used a lot for mounting signs to buildings/glass (often with silicone as well, because that’s more permanent).
If you want to try it, I would suggest testing an area near the bottom and let the tape sit in and set up for at least a week before you pull to remove and see what happens with it.
I’ve used it on interior walls with no issues (great for hanging mirrors and stuff) my only concern would be the texture on the wall preventing a proper pull.
